Bethel Home

(The project)

Bethel Home.

Timber louvre screens and a stone-clad panel divide the street face of a three-storey house. The middle floor steps back behind a planted balcony, and above it an open room sits under a slatted timber roof on a deep overhang. A compound wall with a timber gate closes the ground floor off from the road. Planting runs the length of that wall, lit from below.
